Join NAS tomorrow at 2 pm ET, for a discussion of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.

“There are in this world blessed souls, whose sorrows all spring up into joys for others; whose earthly hopes, laid in the grave with many tears, are the seed from which spring healing flowers and balm for the desolate and the distressed.”

What makes Uncle Tom's Cabin a great American novel? What effect did it have on attitudes toward slavery in America? Did the novel play a role in laying the groundwork for the Civil War?

This webinar will feature David Reynolds, Distinguished Professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York; and Hollis Robbins, Dean of Humanities at the University of Utah. The discussion will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS this Friday at 3 pm ET as we discuss the future of science in an age of unreason.

Science is premised on the Enlightenment virtue of reason: that the universe is a rational place that can be understood through reason, logic, and unbiased observation. Science arose in opposition to the Romantic ideal of the universe: that intuition and emotion are better guides to understanding the universe.

In the last two decades, science has been under siege by the forces of post-modernism. For a time, science held its own, but post-modernism has largely won the day, even at institutions supposedly dedicated entirely to the scientific way of thinking. What will be the future of science?

The webinar will feature John Staddon, James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Emeritus Professor of Biology and Neurobiology at Duke University and author of the new book Science in an Age of Unreason. The discussion will be moderated by J. Scott Turner, Director of the Intrusion of Diversity in the Sciences Project for NAS.
